What is the difference between a fewspot and a snowcap? Somebody needs to educate me!

Thanks, everyone. I was so hoping for an appaloosa foal with color and I got one! LOL Diane, this colt could make me think about breeding a few appaloosas. We'll see!

Finally! After a wild few days of weather, I can finally post pictures of Redrock Centaurus. He was so glad to be outside late this afternoon, he was hard to photograph as he ran almost continuously. I just love this colt! He has the prettiest head.

Thanks so much everybody! I can't wait to get home from this show so I can see him again. I'll be sure to ta ke lots of pictures and post.

Thanks, everyone. I'm pretty excited about him. I just can't believe all the color! Talk about luck! He was a tight squeeze and I called Viki Carson for backup. She lives across the street from me. Initial presentation was one upside down foot. I could feel the head and not the other...

He's here! Ok, appy lovers, is this a snowcap or more? WOW! I was so surprised to see all this color! WooHoo!

It won't be long now......

Still waiting. Dream's udder couldn't get any harder or tighter. She hasn't been acting too unusual this afternoon except for a lot of butt pressing and rubbing. I am going to feed early this evening and put her in her stall. So I can continue to pack and prepare for leaving for the horse...

Still waiting but everything looks ready to go. Dream has a full, tight udder, she only laid down twice last night (unusual for her!), her milk is starting to thicken a bit and change from clear to more yellow. She's outside today and is butt pressing a lot! Holding her tail up more than...

Great news! Congratulations!!!

Mary, I will take ANY time before Friday morning!

I wasn't too hopeful for tonight as Dreams' udder softened up a little later this afternoon. But, I just checked her again and it's hard and tight. Nipples spread far apart and pointing down. Couldn't get any milk this time. Unusual for her. Anything different can be a sign. She is yawning...

I just want Dream to foal before Friday morning! LOL Today would be really good, though, as I could get some sleep. She keeps the pager going almost constantly all night long. A live foal will be worth it, We will be having some storms move in later today. Maybe the low pressure will get...

Finally! Dream is looking very close to foaling. Her udder is full, hard and tight this morning. I also noticed she looks very slab sided from the rear. That's a change. Her milk is still thin and watery. I'm guessing she will wait until later today or tonight to foal. I hope. I'm leaving...

New udder pics of Dream this morning. I made these right after I put her outside. Her udder has evened up (even though the underneath picture looks uneven). Waiting for it to get tight and the nipples to fill out.

I use a twitch if I am sure the mare is in heat and not just being submissive. I have some mares, that for whatever reason, want to swing side to side during breeding and I will twitch those as well, to keep them from moving.

Yea, congratulations!! Can't wait to see pictures!

No foal coming tonight, I don't think. Dream's udder softened up late this afternoon. Not looking hopeful for tonight. Maybe tomorrow.......

Thanks, Mary. I'll try to remember that the next time I post pictures. Oh yes, you never know what these mares are going to do. All we humans can do is wait!

Looks like the pictures are going to post now. Only one picture will show up. Strange. But, you can get some idea.
